7 cj Vs zKjtuK! (hj t e dj cte % ScJh? { ATHLETICS 4 o V ,V Every new year at Avon High School has been a year of fun, experience, and learning - experience through as- sociation with new classmates and new teachers; fun from sports, organizations, and even daily classes; and learning from the dedicated teachers. Although we lookback fondly on our school days, we, the Seniors of 1962, realize that we must go forward to assume our re- sponsibility as future Americans. And, with God ' s help, we shall roll on! 0 d 5 tp C o s ft 3 L Q V P o 0 p c A h S A ' ,0 FACULTY cP Q o v mm - A good teacher is a friend as an instructor, and Miss Braden has been both during her first year at Avon High School. Among her students she is highly respected. As yearbook advisor, Miss Braden has spent many hours with the Sonnet staff, making Avon ' s first yearbook an outstanding one. Her efforts in helping the staff pro- duce this yearbook can never be rewarded adequately. We express our deepest appreciation to the individual who has made our year- book possible. De Ucatto t Through our high school years her deep understanding of the stu- dents has won her thfe admiration of all. Her inspiring instruction, her generosity, and her quiet dignity have contributed much to the success of our class. She has shown more than a teacher’s interest in her pupils, and is always willing to give a student time and ad- vice. Because of these fine qualities, which we will always remem- her, we, tne class of 1962, do hereby dedicate the first Sonnet to you, Mrs. Inez MacDonald. ■i ' SufreiintencLeitt y£ Sc£oo£ To The Class Of 1962:- The publication oi this first issue in a new Yearbook series is a significant event in the ever lengthening list o: achievements brought about by the united efforts ot the administration, faculty and students of Avon High School. That the Senior Class of 1962 should take tno lead in this new endeavor is highly commendable. Oftentimes , as the years go by, the memories of subject matter, teachers and student friendships DR. STEPHEN E. HART Anmt JJulilic iPrhmiln Atum. fHasnarijmifttn fade as new events and new associations crowd out the old. It is fitting then, that the Class of 1962 should seek to retain those memories, should strive to recapture the spirit of student days by creating this Yearbook which contains their record of in- dividual and group achievements and the ever youth- ful faces of those with whom they shared their teen- age years at Avon High School. With best wishes to each and every one. Stephen E. Hart, Superintendent of Schools Dr. Hart ' s Secretary MRS. DOROTHY C. BARKER MR. CHARLES FRANCIS Vice Principal Director of Voc. H.S.

MntSMthuurts To The Class Of 1962:- The Yearbook of the Class of 1962 represents a Mixture of many talents and interests. If is a particularly worthwhile project because of the difficulties which had to be overcome in reviving this type of publication after a lapse of some years. The Class of 1962 has done an admirable piece of work, not only in producing this Yearbook, but in arranging the financial support which is so necessary if it is to be a complete success. This Yearbook represents one of the most tangible � hi 9h school • � s pages portray the hard work and good times of your youthful days in a way that will revive memories of Avon High School long after they are clouded by time. 1 wish to congratulate not only the students who have produced and financed this Yearbook, but also the class which has so enthusiastically produced it. Let us hope that it- represents the revival of a tradition which will be continued by future classes. William E. Kelly, Principal John K. Cawley, Secretary; Kenneth L. Linder, Chairman; James M.
